Day 6 of 30 days of Thankful 2018

Day 6 of 30 days of Thankful 2018 journal prompt. What food are you most grateful to eat? We all need food to live, but when you sit down and think about a food that makes you grateful to have on the table it makes me think of memories with my family.

Inspirational Quote:
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. ~Jim Davis

Thinking about this prompt made me remember those special occasions where I was able to meet with my family. The food may have been the centerpiece of the gathering but it was the fellowship with the family that made the event special.

My journal entry for Day 6 of 30 days of Thankful 2018.

There are so many foods I enjoy. My favorites involve meals with my family. The year we made prime rib with all the fixings will always be special to me as so many of my family was able to come. And another time that I enjoyed was when we had hamburgers and hot dogs. Being able to spend time with the family makes the food that much more special.

Do you have fond memories around a special event that involved food? Love to see your story.

Sharing a Flip through of Linda’s Wisdom Junk Journal from the March 18th livestream. Using the digital kit Linda’s Wisdom a collaboration between Norella of Calico Collage and myself. Check out the Mixed Media Crazy Pages video where I made the masterboard that was used for this journal kit.

This is the first time that I’ve made a journal using Linda’s Wisdom. It is one of those journal kits that I really wanted to make special when I made the journal. As this is my art in this journal kit. Sometimes it is hard to take that leap and jump into the project.

I’m glad that I decided to put this journal together. I love how it came together and I was able to do some cool things.

There will be a tutorial soon on how to make the pen. It is cool to bring back projects that we used to make many years ago. I’m thankful for my friend Beverly for reminding me about making those pens.

When you watch one of my tutorial videos, pick something and make one. If you pick at least one item from each video to make in no time you will have all the elements for a journal.

Try to challenge yourself by trying something new. Use up those supplies and make a few elements to go into the journal and have fun doing it!

Use that junk mail, old scrapbook papers and create journal pages. It is amazing how you can glue a few things together, add a stencil design with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and get beautiful pages.

Those mop up pages are great as pages and as tuck spots.

Make sure that you come back and visit my next live stream. Easy Schedule, Monday’s at 3:45 pm central standard time and Thursday’s at 12:30 pm central standard time. We have a lot of fun and I always give away a few items and there is a raffle for the journal at the end for those who make donations.

This week I’ve been working with the Flittering Gems kit and made two Flittering Gems Junk Journals. These were made during live sessions on YouTube. If you haven’t attend one of the live streams, you are missing out on a lot of fun!

Here is the video link to Monday, March 11th. It was a really fun stream.

On Facebook I shared how to make four different embellishments in a live video. It was fun sharing different ideas of using items.

Follow my YouTube to see the next Livestream. Every Monday at 3:45 pm central standard and Thursdays at 12:30 pm central standard time. There are always giveaway items at the live streams. Journals are raffled off when I get $50 in donations during the stream.

The first Flittering Gems Junk Journal made on March 11th was super fun to create. Using The digital download Flittering Gems by Calico Collage, fibers, Feeding Frenzy Stencil, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and more.

Making this journal was so much fun, the bright cheery colors make me smile, how about you?

Love using the Feeding Frenzy stencil to create journal pages and journal cards. By laying a blank journal card on top of a sheet of copy paper then the Feeding Frenzy stencil, next spray with favorite colors of Tattered Angels. Mop up excess spray with another sheet of paper or more journal cards for a cool effect. Remove the Stencil and see a journal page and cards ready to use.

This altered paperclip was made during the Facebook Live on March 11th. I show how I stamped, colored with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and then created the paperclip.

The second Flittering Gems Junk Journal was made during the live on March the 14th. The video didn’t come out as the internet was not playing nice. But the journal turned out beautiful. Even though I used the same kit the two journals are different with a few similarities.

Found a pretty bracelet jewelry piece and decided that it would make a pretty journal closure. Look at those pieces differently and see how you can use these in your journals.

This Flittering Gems junk Journal features a few of the planner pages. I like having those sprinkled throughout the journal. On the other page shows a page tab made of fabric and lace sewed onto the page.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the two Flittering Gems Junk Journals. Lots of ideas shared in both of these that I know you can give a try.

Sharing a Mixed Media Junk Mail Journal Page Tutorial today. How many of you have junk mail that you hate to throw out? Well this is a project where you can use that junk mail to make a beautiful journal page. Use some acrylic paint, stamps, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and some stencils to create this page.

Mixed Media Junk Mail Journal Page Tutorial Video.

Supplies used for the Mixed Media Junk Mail Journal Page Tutorial. Some of the links below are to my shop or Amazon and I get a commission when you make a purchase. I greatly appreciate your support.

This Mixed Media Junk Mail Journal Page Tutorial is a great way to use up those junk mail pages you get. Use those old bills, newsletters and advertisements as a base for items in your junk journals. Grab a few and play with Acrylic Paint.

Using an old gift card and a Ivory paint on a pallet, spread paint all over the junk mail in thin layers. Thinner is better as it won’t cause ridges on your page. If you feel you want more coverage, dry and coat again. Then do the same process with Orange.

Grab that Postcard Collage Stamp and the Archival Ink and stamp all over the page. I love this stamp as it doesn’t matter which way you stamp you get a cool effect. Tip, if a large stamp is hard to get an impression try this, Stand up and press, let the stamp rest on the paper for several seconds before lifting.

Apply distress inks around the edges, fold the page in half and go down the center spine too.

Grab some copy paper or other plain paper and the Double Ring Stencil from the Artistic Stencil Club with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. Fold the paper in half so that the stencil fits on one side. Spray with TAGM then fold the other side of the page over to mop up the design. You get two images for one spray on the same page.

Dry the page and then cut into four pieces, If using standard copy paper that would be four pieces measuring 5.5 x 4.25. Grab a mop up page and trim into four pieces 2 x 4.25 inches.

Take these pieces up a notch by stamping with the Shabby Stitches Rubber Stamp from Bline Designs. There are four different stitch patterns in this set.

Apply distress inks around all the pieces using the blending tool.

Adhere two of the large pieces and two of the small pieces on one side of the page. Repeat on the other side, but place the smaller pieces at the top and the bigger ones at the bottom.

Stamp Butterfly stamps from Bline Designs on cardstock. Fussy cut the butterflies. Apply distress inks around the edges.Watercolor using TAGM and a paintbrush. Paint with the lightest color first and then highlight the dark areas with the darker color.

Use the hot glue gun to create a pleated lace bit and then adhere the lace, eyelash yarn and butterflies on the page.

This tutorial had a lot of great techniques that can be used in lots of projects. I hope you enjoyed seeing this project and have fun creating.
